Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible.

Hello,

I happen to find an good article about the ideal speaker placement. 
(Easiest version without numbers & formulas that I can’t honestly understand :D)

I’d like to share. 

Personally I find two things interesting.

1) Only use 40% of the room area (38% rule)

2) Put the speaker as close as possible to the back-wall (next to bass trap)

Of course, minor adjustment would be required depending on speakers.
Still, I think this is helpful to figure out the very first step.

Obviously, you should put another system at the opposite end! The listening chair can be swiveled to allow enjoyment of either system. I strongly recommend you have two very different systems setup for maximum variety and enjoyment. 

I am glad to have been such an influence upon you that I have helped to revolutionize your participation in the hobby.  ;)
